I asked AI the meaning of Troglodyte.

I don’t quite understand how AI gathers information but it apparently looked here at SN.

In slang, a "troglodyte" is an informal, derogatory term for a person who is considered ignorant, unsophisticated, or out of touch, often because they have old-fashioned or reactionary views.

I didn’t really see the Koreans giving Trump a crown as a flex. I saw it as more of an insult, considering the no kings protests. The current Korean government is very left leaning. I have my doubts that there was anything genuine in that gesture.

Agreed it was very odd, especially the size and the overall bling factor of it, it looks horrible.
If I was Trump, I would melt it down and make something else out of it and display it at Mar-a-Lago.

Please explain how a representative democracy is no longer a democracy when it was just a few days ago. Or get on the same page as @SteelerInLebanon.

again, i refer you to https://www.merriam-webster.com/ so you can better understand the words you think you know the meaning of, so that you truly know the meaning of them and how they work together to form ideas and thoughts.

Did you get your GED? Of course not. Since you enjoy a) being repetitively and soundly humiliated and b) wasting our time on an argument you're being bludgeoned on, I'll just keep posting the TEXTBOOK factual definition in hopes you'll eventually read and digest it. Note: I have little hope.

We are a CONSTITUTIONAL FEDERAL REPUBLIC. That is our CORE system. The fact that it exhibits some DEMOCRATIC principles does NOT negate that we are a constitutional federal republic.

That’s why terms like “democratic republic” or “representative democracy” are both accurate descriptions.

One almost admires how thoroughly you’ve mastered the art of arriving at the wrong conclusion with such unshakable poise.
